Grooving the Country Blues ( Harmonica Key of A Required)

[@ryanvaughan8282]

Ed country blues course level 1 is truly priceless course. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to support yourself with rythm and licks together. Which is why I purchased it and I'm over the moon with how it has helped my playing so far. Cheers from Nova Scotia Canada

One other duo I would mention from a few years ago: Norton Buffalo and Roy Rogers. Sadly, Norton is no longer with us but Roy is still going strong.

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Great thanks 🙏

[@JLee-bi4es]

What about Johnny woods and Mississippi Fred McDowell? They were a great country blues duo. If you hadn't heard him check out there mama says I'm crazy album

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

I’ve heard of Johnny woods but not really checked him out - thanks for the recommendation!

[@mm.rotschneck]

So great, I would love to play that. I actually tried, but where to go with all that air!? It's almost all draw chords and I can't get enough air out with the two blow chords! Any tricks? Geetings from Germany

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

greetings! can try letting some escape from your nose when you breathe out, or blow some out around harp :)

[@giragira3333]

Thank you for the lesson. One question, there are mostly draws in this pattern and riff and I take in way too much air, how do you deal with that? Thanks so much.

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Try getting rid of some through your nose too on the outbreath. You can also relax lips on out breath and breathe out some surplus around the harp. Also try and make the whole thing quieter so you have more control of the breath! It gets easier :)

[@seamlesshomeinspection3313]

Hi Ed. I love the groove rythmn. What class do you recommend for this type of playing? Thanks

[@blueshot_harp_with_me]

Can we get backing track name or link please sir

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

@@blueshot_harp_with_me hello there. This is actually a custom backing track I made as a part of the course. Many thanks Ed

[@blueshot_harp_with_me]

@TheHarmonicaBarge once i get promoted i will love to be your student officially.. i suggest all beginners to watch this video again and again watch in between 6 months so everyone can understand everything

[@john-nx4xn]

? Why are u just showing a 2 draw and blow when it's chords. And the blow sounds higher?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

It’s centred on hole 2 with an additional hole either side. That’s how I write my chords. :)

[@CPerreault]

Maybe try opening your embouchure a bit more to allow one extra hole, the 4 hole into the chord on the out breath. So basically put more of the harmonica into your mouth.
